Prove that


Solution:

Consider the given equation above


In proving the trigonometric identities, we have to choose the more complicated part. Since both sides of the equation are complicated, then we have to simplify both sides of the equation. We have to use the principles of simplifying trigonometric functions as much as we can until we get the same equation on both sides of the equation. Let's simplify the both sides of the equation as follows



but


Hence the above equation becomes




but 

and

Hence the above equation becomes





but



Hence the above equation becomes



Therefore,
